Installation Preparation: Verify that the mounting surface is flat, clean, and free of burrs, oil, and other impurities. Inspect the mounting surface for flatness, straightness, and other precision indicators to ensure that it meets the guide rail installation requirements. Gather the necessary installation tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and vernier calipers, and check their accuracy and reliability.

 

Guide Rail Installation: Gently place the guide rail on the mounting surface. Use locating pins or locating blocks for initial positioning to ensure accurate installation. Initially secure the guide rail to the mounting surface with bolts, but do not tighten them to allow for subsequent adjustments.

 

Guide Rail Adjustment: Use a gauge to check the straightness and levelness of the guide rail. Fine-tune the rail with shims or bolts to meet the required accuracy. After adjustment, tighten the bolts to the specified torque.

 

Slider Installation: Gently install the slider onto the guide rail, paying attention to the slider's orientation and installation sequence. Secure the slider to the workbench or other component with bolts, also tightening to the specified torque.

 

Lubrication and Protection: Apply a liberal amount of lubricating oil or grease to the sliding surfaces of the guide rail and slider to reduce friction and wear. Install protective devices, such as dust covers and scraper blades, to prevent dust and debris from entering the guide rails and sliders.

 

Operational Inspection: After installation, manually push the workbench or other components to check whether the sliders run smoothly on the guide rails and for any abnormalities such as sticking or noise. Connect the power cord and perform a no-load test. Observe the equipment's operating conditions and record relevant parameters to ensure that the equipment meets performance requirements.
